In that case, I believe, you have to tell texhash to also read
/usr/local/lib/texmf.

Due to the fact that I know that TeX is a difficult package, I'd
suggest you either produce a .deb out of your additions and let
dpkg install it into /usr/lib/tex or install it in /usr/lib/tex
yourself - or third convince the TeX maintainer to also package
this package.  Kristopher Rose expressed the idea of packaging
some of the unpackaged CTAN stuff.  You might want to contact
him.
